哥伦比亚广播公司新闻预测,前众议员本·麦克亚当斯这位温和派民主党人,周二在犹他州新划定的第一国会选区竞争激烈的民主党初选中获胜。

此次初选是围绕民主党未来走向的辩论的最新焦点。这场对决中,麦克亚当斯的对手是三位进步派人士——州参议员内特·布卢安、政坛新人兼犹他州民主党党代会获胜者利班·穆罕默德,以及税务律师迈克尔·法雷尔。

该选区涵盖盐湖城及其郊区,可能会决定11月众议院多数席位的归属。经过漫长的法律诉讼,法院下令重新划分选区,诞生了一个倾向民主党的选区,这为民主党近十年来首次拿下该州四个众议院席位中的一个提供了最佳契机。弗吉尼亚大学的萨巴托水晶球评级认为,这个新选区是民主党稳拿的席位。

共和党众议员布雷克·摩尔在旧选区边界下代表第一选区,当时该选区覆盖该州北部并延伸至盐湖城部分区域。如今摩尔将在犹他州坚定的红色第二选区寻求连任。

麦克亚当斯于2018年当选,在击败一名共和党在任议员后担任了一届众议院议员。他被认为是其在国会任职两年期间最保守的民主党人,为了在这个按照新边界计算前副总统卡玛拉·哈里斯将以24个百分点优势获胜的选区开展有竞争力的竞选,他此后不得不与自己过去的一些立场保持距离,其中最引人注目的是堕胎权问题。

布卢安被认为是此次初选中领先的进步派候选人,得到了佛蒙特州独立参议员伯尼·桑德斯的支持,他也与自己过去的观点划清界限,为自己过往在社交媒体上嘲讽性侵犯和摩门教徒的旧帖道歉。

Former Rep. Ben McAdams, a moderate Democrat, won a competitive Democratic primary in Utah’s newly drawn 1st Congressional District on Tuesday, CBS News projects.

The primary is the latest flashpoint in the debate over the direction of the Democratic Party’s future. The race pitted McAdams against three progressives — state Sen. Nate Blouin, political newcomer and Utah Democratic convention winner Liban Mohamed and tax attorney Michael Farrell.

The district, which encompasses Salt Lake City and its suburbs, could help determine the House majority in November. After a lengthy legal battle, court-ordered redistricting produced one Democratic-leaning district, giving the party its best opportunity in nearly a decade to flip one of the state’s four House seats. The University of Virginia’s Sabato’s Crystal Ball considers the new district a safe pickup for Democrats.

Republican Rep. Blake Moore represents the 1st District under the old boundaries, which spanned the northern part of the state and stretched down into parts of Salt Lake City. Moore is now running for reelection in Utah’s solidly red 2nd District.

McAdams was elected in 2018, serving one term in the House after beating a Republican incumbent. He was considered the most conservative Democrat during his two years in Congress, and he’s since had to distance himself from some of his past positions, most notably on abortion rights, to run a competitive race in an area that former Vice President Kamala Harris would have won by 24 points under the new boundaries.

Blouin, who was considered the leading progressive in the race and backed by independent Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont, also distanced himself from past views, apologizing for old social media posts in which he mocked sexual assault and Mormons.
